Description: Hurtling Toward Happiness by Claudia Hunter Johnson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The Funny, Wise, Bighearted Story of a Bonding Road Trip—and the Healing Power of Human Connection Publisher Description The Funny, Wise, Bighearted Story of a Bonding Road Trip-and the Healing Power of Human Connection When Claudias sixteen-year-old son, Ross, announces hes quitting high school and leaving home a year early, she panics because theyre so disconnected shes afraid shell lose him forever. Then a small miracle happens-they discover they have the same escape fantasy, to head west on I-10 to where she grew up, in Corpus Christi, Houston, and Kingsville, Texas. So, on a tight budget and with the expense clock ticking, they travel from Tallahassee to Texas and back, 2,400 miles in one week. But the distance they cover transcends the miles that they drive. Along the way Claudia recounts the sometimes hilarious, often harrowing, but ultimately courageous Texas family story that defined her childhood and is Rosss heritage-a story that centers on her own mothers path-breaking journey from a family history of dysfunction, alcoholism, and abuse to create a life for herself and a loving home for her children. As Claudia and Ross spend time together, sharing stories and laughter, shes able to see more clearly the young man her son has become, and he takes responsibility for his unhappiness and finds a solution. With prose that is nimble, vivid, and rich in humor, here is a spirited testament to the crucial bond between mothers and children.
